**Cover Reveal** For All The Evers by Debra Anastasia

I wish I had known
you. You died in World War II. I know you had no wife, no kids, no descendants
other than your brother’s children. I’ve often wondered how life would have
been different if you’d lived.

My mom never met you,
but you’re talked about a lot. My grandpa, your brother, told us your stories.
He was hilarious, and I guess you’re together now. That’s a good thing. I know
he missed you. And I was proud of the stories I heard about you.

I’ve felt helpless
because there’s no fixing the past, but now I realize maybe I can. This letter
is to thank you for your sacrifice, but I went further than that. I finished
the book I promised your niece I would write.

Hopefully, after
people read this, you will be known. It is my dearest hope that you will be
remembered. My readers are incredibly generous with their hearts, so I know you
will be loved.

Fallen Billow should be in college like
most of her friends, but instead she’s raising her brother and working as a
housekeeper at a vintage local hotel. It’s back-breaking work, but not nearly
as challenging as fending off unwanted advances from the hotel’s owner.

Thomas McHugh is fighting for our country,
across the globe and decades before Fallen Billow was even born. So there’s no
way they’re soul mates. There’s no way he can be desperate to see her, hold
her, kiss her. Except there is.

Is it a dream when he inks his name on her
skin? Is it a delusion when she puts her hands on his face and says she loves
him? Nothing has ever felt more real.

Fate has etched paths for Thomas and Fallen
that even time cannot touch. A Purple Heart proclaims Thomas’ valor and
bravery. And his death. But Fallen dares to dream of the impossible. She wants
Thomas to stay. Just stay.

A tribute to all who have served our
country, this novel honors the impossible beauty of love and the endless power
of hope. Come open your heart and celebrate the many facets of bravery with
Fallen and Thomas.
